After anchoring in Bali on 27th November Celebrity Solstice faced challenge with Tender services. The well known policy guests always first leave some of the crew members waiting to board the tenders for up to two hours. This resulted in coming late on duty of the crew members most of them waiters and sommeliers.

To play safe and avoid negative comments from the guests, onboard management decided not to allow crew to go onshore on their next stop in Cairns, Australia  where ship is tendering again. The Solstice crew is obviously upset of this announcement saying that there are more than enough tender boats in Cairns (two tenders from shore side and two ships life boats) to transfer passengers and crew to the shore.
